At our local Farmer's Market, Fava Beans start showing up about this
time of year. Also, so do nice bundles of fresh (not dried) garlic.
And wonderful varieties of onion, etc.

I shell them, put a tad of olive oil in a skillet, add some finely
chopped fresh garlic, and thinly sliced onion. I saute' fast (until
the Fava beans are tender -but more al dente), add some freshly ground
pepper, and serve with whatever I'm having for the main course that
meal!

Hi Myrl,
Which FM do you go to? The Sunday "under the freeway" one?
